I am hoping to persuade my librarian to start purchasing the Batchelder titles--would be a good way to add interesting and unusual books to the collection. I really love older children's books and need to get back to reading more, so I am sure I will be adding whatever you read to my TBR!Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-75842060397248412752017-01-24T08:20:50.708-07:002017-01-24T08:20:50.708-07:00It is, Ricki.

I wanted to read the book since I saw the title and cover. I brought home Cry, Heart, But Never Break over the weekend from the library. I read the first lines out loud to my co-workers and I received a resounding "Awww..." Can't wait to read the rest of it! I saw your Goodreads update on My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry. I bought A Man Called Ove last year and I'm hoping to get to it this year. I'm excited to see what you think of the Grandmother book!

Unfortunately, I really don't have time to read it now. I've added it to my for later shelf and hope that after I finish this box of books that is being delivered I can get back to my regular reading. I hope to get to The Girl who Drank the Moon some time this year.Cheriee Weichelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662398117320256935noreply@blogger.com
